 Hello! Welcome to Module 10.
“
I’m Teacher Mike and with me is Teacher Jen. We are
your teacher-friends who can help you better appreciate
the indicators of the Philippine Professional Standards for
Teachers (PPST).

As we move along, let’s consider this picture.

Can you relate to the presented situation in the picture? Are you that kind of
teacher? Do you think our learners will fare well in this kind of assessment considering
leaners’ needs, strengths, interests and experiences?

As teachers, we must be able to grasp assessment as an integral part of the

teaching and learning process that allows us to track and measure learner’s progress
and adjust instruction accordingly.

We will act as support group and will offer authentic and instructive illustrations
of practice anchored on the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) to
help enhance current practice.

In this module, we will focus on:

 STRAND: Design, selection, organization and utilization of

We, your teacher-friends, can help you in
understanding this indicator through our sample
situation.

Below are some of the key questions that

you may answer to help Teacher Lorelie improve
her practice.

PPST RESOURCE PACKAGE

“ You are doing a wonderful job! Here are our suggestions

for you to further enrich your current practice.

In the presented detailed lesson plan, Teacher Lorelie used varied assessment strategies in her lesson.
She was able to provide a pre-assessment to gauge the learners’ understanding on the topic. It is suggested
that pre-assessment must be done prior to instruction to identify each learner’s strengths, weaknesses,
knowledge and skills.

She was able to use assessment during her lesson to check on the progress of the learners. Nevertheless,
the activity was too heavy for the learners. The learners could have been given a guided activity instead of
asking them to write about the topic in ten sentences.

Lastly, she was able to assess what the learners learned after the lesson by having a ten-item quiz. This
allowed her to measure the achievement of the learners in the day’s lesson.

As teachers, we consider some aspects in determining the assessment strategies to use in each type
of assessment.

PRE-ASSESSMENT
• Teachers need to take into account the purpose (what knowledge or skill is being assessed) of the
pre-assessment, the needs of the learners (age, readiness levels, learning preferences, etc.), and their
own teaching styles.
• Teachers need to use strategies that fit in their teaching styles to get maximum results from the pre-
assessment.

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
• Teachers need to determine what aspect of student learning they want to measure.
• Formative assessment strategies can be given to learners individually, as partners, in small groups,
or as a class.

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT
• Teachers need to determine the purpose for the summative assessment.
• Teachers need to look at all the outcomes and goals of the unit and determine what types of evidence
they will need to demonstrate student learning.
• They should consider how they can gather that evidence throughout the unit in order to establish the
mastery level of their learners regarding specific curriculum outcomes.
• Forefront in a teacher’s mind should be the need to triangulate evidence through conversations,

We hope you can make use of these suggestions when you plan
your lessons.

This time, we will show you different practices that will serve as your
guide on how to design, select, organize and use diagnostic, formative
and summative assessment strategies consistent with curriculum
requirements.

 As Proficient teacher, you are expected to design, select, organize and use diagnostic,
formative and summative assessment strategies consistent with curriculum requirements. In
this module, let us discover the different illustrations of practice aligned with the Philippine
Professional Standards for Teachers that show specific ways on how you can make use of
assessment strategies.

Assessment and instruction are parallel in a classroom that focuses on the learner. Teachers
need to use a variety of strategies to assess learner readiness for a particular unit of study and
to plan their instruction around the needs the learners demonstrate. Ongoing assessment of
student learning is an important part of the planning process.

There are three main types of assessment. They are pre-assessment, formative assessment,
and summative assessment. As we move along, we will come across a selection of assessment
strategies applicable in each type of assessment.

We hope that the table below clears up some misconceptions about assessment.

Pre-Assessment Strategies
Teacher Mike has walked you through Teacher Lorelie’s DLP.
He also showed you suggestions for improvement. This time, let
me discuss with you Teacher May Grace’s lesson plan.

Teacher May Grace prepares this lesson plan for Grade 10

English. Let us focus on the use of a particular pre-assessment
strategy embodied in her lesson.

occur during instruction. They are quick to administer and will
give you immediate feedback. This informal nature reduces the
test anxiety of learners who feel anxious during more formal

want to remind you that:
As learners engage in pre-assessment tasks, their knowledge
base expands. They build a foundation for learning with each
discovery.
Learners become responsible for their own learning as they
actively participate in preparation for the new topic of study.
Teachers create opportunities for learners to share the results
of their discoveries as a prelude to planning optimal learning
opportunities.

Formative Assessment Strategies

“
Let’s take a look at more examples of assessment
strategies. My own notes alongside the sample material point
out how the strategies are helpful.

The following are excerpts from Teacher May Grace’s

lesson on textual aids. Look at the different assessment
strategies that she uses in her class.

EXCERPT NO. 1

Teacher May Grace uses

 response strategy as formative
assessment during the lesson.

Using formative assessment

provides immediate feedback
to learners, identifies what
hinders learning and facilitates

progress, and makes decisions

on whether to proceed with
the next lesson, re-teach,
or provide for corrective
measures or reinforcements.

learning and provide support for evidence gathered through other
sources. Throughout the unit, he uses the checklist to gather
information. At the end of the unit, the checklist provides evidence of
what learners mastered.

“ Teacher Mark plans to administer a teacher-made test for his Oral

Communication in Context class to measure student learning at the end
of the quarter.

Prior to this, he prepares a table of specifications (TOS). From the

TOS, he crafts a multiple choice test for the targeted competencies.

However, an objective test cannot solely measure learner achievement.

Teacher Mark still needs to validate a learner’s achievement through a
performance-based assessment.

Based on DepED Order No. 8, s. 2015, Quarterly Assessment (QA)

measures student learning at the end of the quarter. These may be in the
form of objective tests, performance-based assessment, or a combination
thereof.

To emphasize the components of summative assessments, here is a

table highlighting their purposes and identifying when they are given as
stated in DepED Order No. 8, s. 2015.

now ready to develop lesson plans, instructional materials and
assessment tools applicable to your teaching contexts.

Below are illustrations of practice that you may also consider

in planning your lessons and activities and developing your
instructional materials and assessment tools.

Happy working!

ILLUSTRATIONS OF PRACTICE

DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT
The teacher uses assessment strategies to identify each learner’s strengths, weaknesses, knowledge
and skills prior to instruction.

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
The teacher applies assessment strategies to identify the parts of the lesson where learners need
improvement.
Before the lesson
The teacher gets information about what the learners already know and can do about the new
lesson, determines misconceptions, shares learning intentions and success criteria to the learners
and identifies what hinders learning.
The teacher utilizes several strategies such as, but not limited to, agree/disagree activities,
ponder and pass, signal action responses, content knowledge boxes, content surveys, games,
interviews, inventories/checklist, KWL activities, open-ended questions, practice exercises.
During the lesson
The teacher provides immediate feedback to learners, identifies what hinders and facilitates
learning, tracks learner progress, and makes decisions on whether to proceed with the next lesson,
re-teach, or provide for corrective measures or reinforcements.
The teacher draws these parts for improvement through several strategies such as, but not
limited to, recitation, activities, seatworks, observation, anecdotal assessment, response cards,
checkpoint tests, simple activities drawn from specific topic, and simulation activities.
After the lesson
The teacher assesses whether learning objectives have been met for a specific duration,
remediates and/or enriches with appropriate strategies as needed, and evaluates whether learning
intentions and success criteria have been met.
The teacher employs several strategies such as, but not limited to, checklists, discussion, games,
performance tasks emanated from the lesson objectives, practice tests, short quizzes, written works
and group presentations.
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT
The teacher employs assessment strategies to identify learner achievement.
• The teacher assesses learners individually through unit tests and quarterly assessment
that are crafted based on cognitive process dimensions.
• The teacher assesses learners collaboratively by allowing them to participate in group
activities to showcase the evidence of their learning.
• The teacher recognizes the three components of summative assessment which are bases
for grading: written work (WW), performance tasks (PT) and quarterly assessment (QA).
